Yeojin

Im Yeo-jin, known mononymously as Yeojin, is a South Korean singer and a member of the girl group Loona and its spinoff Loossemble. She debuted as a soloist on March 3, 2026 with her single album Lv1. Yeojin is recognized for her sweet, youthful concept and bright stage presence. As of 2026, she continues to promote with Loossemble while pursuing individual activities.[edit]

Yeojin was born on November 11, 2002 in Daegu, South Korea. She attended the School of Performing Arts Seoul, where she trained in singing and dancing. Her first step toward the K-pop industry came when she joined Blockberry Creative as a trainee. On December 8, 2016, she was revealed as the fourth member of the pre-debut girl group Loona, following Heejin, Hyunjin, and Haseul. That same day, she released her solo single album Yeojin, featuring the title track Kiss Later and the B-side My Sunday. The song established her innocent and cute image within the group's expanding universe. Her debut was part of Loona's ambitious pre-debut project, which introduced each member individually before the group's official launch.[edit]

Yeojin officially debuted as a full member of Loona on August 20, 2018 with the mini-album [+ +]. She participated in the group's subsequent releases and tours. In 2023, after Loona's departure from Blockberry Creative, she joined the spinoff group Loossemble under CTDENM, debuting with the mini-album Loossemble on September 15, 2023. As a member of Loossemble, she has continued to release music and perform. On March 3, 2026, Yeojin debuted as a soloist with her single album Lv1, marking a new chapter in her career. The album showcases her individual artistry and growth as a performer.[edit]

Yeojin's public image is defined by a sweet, cute, and youthful aesthetic, established early in her career with Kiss Later. She is known for her bright energy and playful personality during group activities. Fans perceive her as the affectionate maknae of Loona. On Instagram, she maintains a casual and friendly tone, often posting selfies and updates that reinforce her approachable image. Her fanbase, part of the larger Loona fandom Orbit, appreciates her sincerity and warmth.[edit]

Yeojin commands a dedicated global following that transcends her status as a solo artist, drawing significant attention from the international K-pop community and fans of the Loona legacy. Her visibility has surged through recent legal victories and solo releases, yet she currently holds no placement in the iFANN Global Top 1,000 rankings or any scope-specific top lists. The iFANN Global Fame Engine evaluated her profile in August 2026 and determined she does not hold a ranked position at this time. This absence of a numeric rank reflects her standing as a highly recognized figure within her specific niche rather than a mainstream global celebrity with a quantified public ranking score. Her audience is the collective Orbit fandom, a massive and organized group known for its strategic support of the entire Loona project and its members. There is no separate, distinct unofficial fandom name exclusively for Yeojin; she is supported by the collective Orbit community. These fans are celebrated for their militaristic approach to charting and streaming, often coordinating global efforts to maximize sales for her solo work and group activities. The bond between Yeojin and Orbits is particularly deep, rooted in shared struggles during her legal battles against former agencies and the subsequent reunion as part of Loossemble. This dynamic transforms the fan-artist relationship into a supportive alliance where the community rallies around her resilience and artistic reinvention.[edit]

Yeojin was the youngest member of Loona at the time of the group's debut, earning her the nickname Baby of the Group. Her solo debut track Kiss Later is known for its sweet, youthful concept, though she also released a single album titled YeoJin featuring the track Red Hot Chili Summer. She is often referred to by fans as the maknae and has a playful and affectionate personality, frequently interacting with fans on Instagram. Her favorite color is pink, and she enjoys taking selfies and posting casual updates for her followers. A defining chapter in her personal mythology occurred in 2023 when she publicly expressed desperation after losing an initial lawsuit against Blockberry Creative, a raw moment that galvanized the entire Orbit fandom to fight for the members' rights. Another pervasive story involves her extreme thinness and small stature; reports state she stands 151cm and weighs approximately 30kg, leading to widespread online discourse and concern among netizens and fans alike. While officially listed as an unofficial member of the subunit LOONA 1/3, she appears in promotional materials but has no vocal or rap lines in the unit's discography, making her a ghost member in the eyes of some purists. The reunion of five former Loona members to form Loossemble in September 2023 remains a major cultural milestone, celebrated as a happy ending to long-standing conflicts.[edit]

Details about Yeojin's family are not publicly disclosed. She has not shared information about her parents or siblings in interviews or on social media. As of 2026, she has not mentioned any pets. Her private nature regarding family is common among K-pop idols.[edit]

Yeojin is associated with her fellow Loona members: Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, Vivi, Yves, Jinsoul, Kim Lip, Chuu, Choerry, Gowon, and Olivia Hye. She also works closely with Loossemble members Hyunjin, Vivi, Gowon, and Hyeju. Her former company was Blockberry Creative; her current company is CTDENM.[edit]

There are no publicly confirmed romantic relationships for Yeojin. As a K-pop idol, her personal life is kept private, and no credible media outlets have reported any dating history. As of 2026, she is reported to be single.[edit]

iFANN currently estimates Yeojin's net worth at approximately $300,000 as of 2026. This figure is based on her income from music sales, streaming royalties, concert tours, and merchandise sales as a member of Loona and Loossemble, as well as her solo debut Lv1. K-pop idol finances are often opaque due to revenue-sharing models, so this is a speculative estimate. Her earnings have grown since her debut, with her solo activities contributing to her individual income.[edit]
